A citizen-powered camera network for missing-person cases. Everyday people and law enforcement agencies opt in their own cameras; the platform automatically checks faces seen on those feeds against active missing-person cases, and a human reviewer confirms every possible match before anyone is alerted.
Register on Project Aziz's website to get your camera's credentials, then download and run the bridge app — the piece described above — to actually connect it; that part still means running downloaded software on your own network, so it's built for agencies and technical early adopters right now. Works with ONVIF-capable IP cameras (most Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, and similar security/NVR cameras) on your local network — not cloud-only consumer cameras like Ring, Nest, or Wyze, which don't expose a local video feed for the bridge to find.
Neither download is code-signed yet, so Windows/macOS will warn you the first time you run it — that's expected for a new, open tool. See the README linked above for how to get past that warning.
How it will work
A small bridge app run by the camera's owner pulls frames from an existing RTSP/CCTV camera or a consumer camera like a Ring or Nest, and sends them to Project Aziz — nothing else about the camera's video feed leaves the owner's network.
Each frame is compared against photos from active missing-person cases only. If there's no likely match, the frame is deleted immediately — Project Aziz doesn't build up a library of footage of the general public.
A possible match is never treated as a confirmed sighting automatically. It goes to a law-enforcement reviewer, who confirms it — notifying the case owner and family — or dismisses it as a false positive.
Powered by the community
Eyes Of Aziz is built around the same trust model as My Aziz Network : participation is voluntary, ownership stays with the person who opted in, and access is limited to who actually needs it.
Any Project Aziz user will be able to register a camera they own — a doorbell camera, a home security camera, anything RTSP-capable — the same way people join My Aziz Network today. Registering a camera is the opt-in; you can turn participation off again at any time, and it stops being searched going forward.
Verified law enforcement agencies will be able to register their own RTSP/CCTV cameras directly, alongside the citizen-contributed network — the same agency verification process used everywhere else on the platform.
Matching against the network — citizen and agency cameras alike — is limited to approved law enforcement agencies. A citizen's own camera never gives them a feed of "possible match" alerts; only that it's online and participating.
Opting out isn't just a UI toggle — it's enforced at the point cameras are actually searched, so revoking access stops future matches immediately, not just the display of a setting.
Not a substitute for 911
Eyes Of Aziz will supplement missing-person investigations, not replace them or dispatch emergency services. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 first. Read more about how the platform is kept safe on our Safety & Trust page.
Turn a camera you already own into part of a network that helps bring missing people home — with full control over whether it participates.
